- Well I picked up this little 12 inch, vintage Lakewood High Velocity fan at a yard wale for 5 bucks and decided to give it the love it deserved and completely tear it apart and clean and service everything as well as revarnishing the motor and redoing the electrical on it!
Awesome video Collin i enjoyed the time laps as well as the startup sound i can't wait to see this vintage Lakewood in future videos to come also the blade set is just like it is in the 12" Air king 9212 high velocity fan..
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! I figured you would like the color of it too lol. Yea they are similar! Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 lol yeah you knew i would like that royal blue lol and your welcome for me watching the video cant wait to see more fan videos from you soon.
Yea I did lol! It's actually a much lighter blue in person but I like it a lot! Yea I'm trying my best to post one every other weekend. Have to alternate with engine videos to keep everyone happy lol. Next video will likely be an old Lakewood 223 box fan that's very special to me!
@@colin_5839 Nice i cant wait to see the 223 box fan i know Jordan u has one to but true i hear you post what your viewers want to see same with me i do my fan collection and every now and then maybe clock videos or clock radios , stereos etc etc lol but that's good so you can grow your channel
Nice fan project video on a Lakewood blue velocity fan that needs to be overhaul after it came from a junkyard it looks better and I love that start-up sound which is one of my favorites
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 you're welcome
Also if you have some Maguire's car wax it will shine the paint up. Also I like your truck. Love the old look.
Oooh that's a good idea! I'll have to use that on some of my other fans! Thanks! :) I love it so much lol. It's a ton of fun and I like putting a smile on people's faces with it!
you could improve the spindown by adding some oil to the mating surfaces between the springed thrust washer and the bearing!?
You know, I thought of doing that... after I put it all back together lol. I think I may try that at some point but for right now I'm definitely not going to pull it apart again. It's a bit of a pain with the way the motor is held together. Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839I should thank you for making the video
When you oiled it did you put oil directly in the bearings or just the felt. I wouldn't recommend only putting it in the felt because you have to run the fan for a long time before the bearing will soak it up. In the time you can cause bearing damage. I would recommend always putting oil all over the bearing surface. If you did this sorry for the long comment.
No need to apologize! I appreciate the feedback! I always do put a little oil in the bearings directly and then I usually run them for a while to let the other oil start to soak in a bit. Thanks for Watching!
Correct its a fasco motor thats what patton used on there 12 inch hv fans:)
Thanks for the info!
I'm looking for one at the resale or thrift shop
I'm not surprised! Thanks for Watching!
How can I tell how old one of these are I have a similar bigger one I’d like to know of age.
I believe that over times the Grills, badges, and motors changed on these a big but I'm not entirely sure. I'd start by checking over the motor as they often have date codes on them, but if not there are several really good groups on FB that have people that know how old these things are. Thanks for Watching Wes!
